New thread gang!

Hey @TempusFuckit congratulations on your loss so far and on hitting ‘overweight’!!

Not sure which pharmacy you are using but Medicine Market Place have the 15mg for £135 plus postage and I counted about 40 pharmacies on monj.co.uk that are under £200!

oh gosh that's really useful, I'll take a look!

Week 39 weigh in and another pound since my mini update earlier in the week. 2lbs lost this week ... guys only one pound until I am NORMAL.

SW 13st 7lbs BMI 36.6
CW 9st 3lbs BMI 25.2

Total loss 60lbs (31.7% of my body weight)

I'm still logging calories. I'm allowing myself more than at the start but I feel I've got used to the new ways of eating and it's become quite routine. Seeing my daughter today and it's been almost a stone since she last saw me so she'd better comment! We're starting to look for summer holiday clothes!

Brilliant job @TempusFuckit !
I’m a couple of months into maintenance now, and it’s still exciting.
If it helps I lost my weight loss fell gradually lbs off a month approx
~ 10.5/9/7.5/7.5/5.5/4
Everyone different but my experience of the kitchen roll effect was quite startling -
16/18 to comfortable 14 was around 24lbs and three months
14 to 12 was another 15lbs and just over two months
12 to 10 took 5(!!!)lbs and about 6 weeks

I’d bought some lovely size 12s too!

That’s really encouraging to hear @VioletsHeart
It’s taken 6 stone to get from a 22 down to just about 16 for me, so it’s really good to hear the kitchen roll analogy is actually a real thing.
I’ve got 2 stone to go to be a healthy BMI and I’m really hoping I see much quicker movement down through the sizes now.
All of my fat is now around my stomach, at times it feels like it’s just the same as when I started. I can’t wait to see a real difference there.

I am stuck again!! On 10mg and I am just not losing. Aghhh

Morning everyone!

Just 1/2 a pound for me this week bringing me to dead on BMi 25!

SW 15st 12
CW 10st 10
Total Loss 5st 2lb (32%) of my body and just under half of what I actually weigh now (that sounds crazy doesn’t it??)
Realistically I think I probably only want to lose a little bit more and maybe get to somewhere between 10st and 10st7.

I think I have maybe 2 or 3 5mg pens left so I don’t know that I will need to order anymore. It’s felt super slow now, but I’ve lost 13lb since January 1st (2lb of which was Christmas bloat though!)

I am feeling nervous of stopping and going it alone!!

Love reading all the comments.
SW. 14.8
CW. 11.2
Not sure of my goal weight. Started at 11.7 but once I got there I decided another few pounds. Think I’ll be happy at 11 stone but so scared of stopping in case I start putting it back on. I’m on 5 mg and plan to drop to 4 mg next month and then 2.5 the month after and see how my appetite is.
Suddenly people are saying ‘ oh my goodness you’ve lost weight, are you on those drugs!’ I’ve only lost 8 lbs this year so funny everyone is suddenly noticing.
However a couple of close friends have never said a word about my new shape. Find that quite hurtful really.
Off on holiday next week so looking forward to wearing my new bikinis. 👙☀️👙🩷

Half a pound on but it's been a carby week!

Ugh, out to dinner with friends last night. I was complemented on my weight loss. We had big chats about exercise as we were with Exercisers. Conversation moved on to other things. Right at the end of the night a question was directed at me out of the blue “so as someone having lost a lot of weight, how do you feel about people using injections?” I was not prepared and felt utterly gottcha’ed. The look of glee on her face when I struggled to answer well, is the reason the relationship is maintained for my DH only.
I had not mentioned my use of weight loss medication. The circle who know is extremely limited: DH, best friend, one friend who told me she’s on it.
She went on to say friend at gym was using it very successfully but had lost strength so was interested in that. Her husband jumped in and answered for me.
I think I was uncomfortable as her question was phrased in such a way to encourage me either to be in the thin camp judging those who could only loose weight on medication or out myself when I have chosen not to speak about it.

@VioletsHeart what a cow! I think DH’s relationship with them should be limited to boys’ nights only from now on!

In the cold light of day, a response such as ‘I think they are an amazing tool for weight loss and that people should be able to do whatever works best for them’ with a smile would work well.

I’m nearly 7 stone down and can’t believe NOBODY has asked me directly if I’m taking a GLP1! I can see several friends on social media who have always been on the curvier side who are suddenly looking much more lean and my immediate assumption is that they are. I’ve even had conversations in front of/with my offspring and friends about GLP1s and NOBODY has asked the direct question. I have been asked what diet I’m using, how much exercise I do etc but not if I’m taking anything. After a lifetime of being obese and fighting with my weight, you’d think someone would wonder how I’m suddenly a size 12 🤷‍♀️ Bizarre!

I’m not sure people know what to say. I got quite a few you look fantastic comments the other week at an annual event which I took as code for you’ve lost weight but I’m not going to say that directly. Some of the older ladies did say you’ve lost weight directly though! 😁

9 months ago today…

Week 40 weigh in and 9 months on MJ!! And I’ve stayed the same as last weigh in 2 weeks ago.

Normally this would royally piss me off but I seem to be being much kinder to and about my body these days. I’ve been away, eaten carbs and drunk beer, had pretty major dental surgery and am on loads of antibiotics etc so my body is in recovery mode. I’d hoped to reach goal (or at least get very close!) on the pen I started yesterday but have realised that it’s not the end of the world if I don’t. It will happen when it happens and realistically am I going to be/look all that different a stone or so lighter than I am now? 🤷‍♀️

Same as last time but my weight did fluctuate up for a few days so happy to see it coming down again. It's basically been going up and down the same 2 lbs (lowest 191.6 to highest 193.6) since beginning of February. If no significant breakthrough this pen I think it's time to move up to 12.5.

I haven't really had many side effects at all, but last night we had friends round and ordered food. I had chips ... and my god my stomach today! So much pain!

Good morning everyone

I weighed in this morning at 10st 9 which means I am finally in the BMI healthy range - 24.8!!! Whoop I haven’t been in that range since 2004!

Start weight was 15st12 (BMI 37)
current weight 10st9 (BMI 24.8)

It seems surreal. I have 2 and a half pens left (so will last me 13wks with the bonus doses) I am going to hopefully another half a stone off to try and sit around the 10st mark and see how I feel there.

Congratulations @JomonotFomo

Normal is my current aim. I haven't lost this week so remain one pound away 😫. I have had three meals out though ... I think the secret to remaining skinny is never socialising 😂

I tried to progress from fleecy jumpers to t shirts last week but realised I had absolutely nothing that fitted. I've had about ten tops delivered this week in 8 and S and they all fit lovely. I've kept looking at them in amazement all week. Then I popped one on with a cardigan - I thought my old cardis would be safe but even they look ridiculous hanging off me, so more shopping it is!

Congratulations @JomonotFomo

ahh sorry to hear that @daffodilandtulip

I have had it a few times. It it truly awful. I am stuck in my stagnation stage. It doesn't seem to move. The sulphur burps have been awful this week too. 1 pound off this week but I was actually 10.12 mid week about 4 weeks ago. So I am losing and gaining the same few pounds.
I would like to at least get to 10 stone.

Week 35 11.3
Week 34 11.2

@JomonotFomo huge congrats! i'm still plugging along here super slowly. 5kg to go, but it has really slowed down so I'm going to go up to 12.5 with my next pen as have been on 10 for ages.

HUGE congrats @JomonotFomo!! I bet it was unimaginable to start with and yet here you are! I was also delighted this morning to have a bmi that starts with 25! 5lbs from healthy now…

@daffodilandtulip amazing!! Enjoy the shopping!!

@achangeofnameisasgoodasarest oooo, feedback once on the 12.5 please? I’m hoping to make goal on 10 but we shall see…

Hey, just to let you know I just got round to submitting a pricematch request to MedExpress using this, and I've got £30 off my next pen, so thanks!

Bit nervous about jumping between providers now that I'm technically no longer eligible as a new customer but hopefully the pricematching will help keep costs down . . .

SW 252.6 lb

Finally a whoosh of 1.9lbs lost! Less than a lb away from having lost 25% of starting weight.

Week 40 weigh in today and I’m down 5lbs!! After a couple of weeks of staying the same I suppose it makes sense but bodies really are a law unto themselves!!

I am finally in the 9s (NEVER in a MILLION YEARS thought that would be possible) and my total loss on MJ is now 7 stone!!! I am a mere 2lbs from a healthy bmi and from having lost 100lbs!! 😱

Fast800 SW: 17st 7lbs bmi 44.8

12lbs to goal…

@TempusFuckit yay! Happy it helped. Also, it’s very easy to switch pharmacies as long as you have evidence of previous prescriptions. Think there’s only a couple that won’t take you under 30bmi and you’re already with one of them!! 😂

@Megarea whoohoo for the loss!! 🎉👏
